Member Help

If you are a new AAAS member, you must first activate your account before logging on to AAAS MemberCentral. To activate your account, have your new AAAS Member Number handy, and then go here to confirm your email address and create a password.

Once you've confirmed your email and created a password, you can use your new credentials to login.

If you are a current member, there is a new login process for AAAS and Science. For your convience, we have streamlined the user experience so that there is now just one login for both MemberCentral and Science. As part of the new login process, you will be required to update your existing username and password.

It is important to update your login information for continued access to Science online content and MemberCentral. Doing so also gets you enhanced security and access to new benefits.

It will take just a few quick steps!

  1.  Look up your account*
  2.  Confirm your email address
  3.  Set your password

Update your login now!

*Important: If you are looking up your account using your AAAS Member Number, you must enter 8 digits. If your AAAS Member Number has less than 8 digits, please add zeros in front of your AAAS Member Number. For example: 123456 needs to be entered as 00123456

After you update your login and password, please visit our new AAAS MemberCentral My Profile, located in the upper right-hand corner of MemberCentral. Here you can manage your AAAS account details, update contact and address information, reset a password, join or change a section, and more.
